For the moment, it includes the following tools: * Plugins -- tools to make it easy for modules to let other modules implement plugins from .inc files. * Exportables -- tools to make it easier for modules to have objects that live in database or live in code, such as 'default views'. * AJAX responder -- tools to make it easier for the server to handle AJAX requests and tell the client what to do with them. * Form tools -- tools to make it easier for forms to deal with AJAX. * Object caching -- tool to make it easier to edit an object across multiple page requests and cache the editing work. * Contexts -- the notion of wrapping objects in a unified wrapper and providing an API to create and accept these contexts as input. * Modal dialog -- tool to make it simple to put a form in a modal dialog. * Dependent -- a simple form widget to make form items appear and disappear based upon the selections in another item. * Content -- pluggable content types used as panes in Panels and other modules like Dashboard. * Form wizard -- an API to make multi-step forms much easier. * CSS tools -- tools to cache and sanitize CSS easily to make user-input CSS safe. This package provides the following Drupal modules: * bulk_export * ctools * ctools_access_ruleset * ctools_ajax_sample * ctools_custom_content * ctools_plugin_example * page_manager * stylizer * term_depth * views_content
